production is superior to the average
verses written by the enthusiastic

the immediate Borrowing family is in

average reader would prefer some other
class of reading.

Prof. l.. T.. Sayre and Prof L. III. Bal
ley, Of the Kansas university, were
here this week, the former studying the
loco weed and the latter looking out for
mineral springs. Barber county, at one
time, was a great field for loco, but civ
iliZation has about driven it out. There
is no question about there being miner
al springs in the county.
Two of Johnson's Uncle Toms Cab
In combination got into difficulty at
Granada. Col, last week, and one shot
and killed the other. The papers state
mObbing is in prospect. This is the
johnson who wintered here during the
winter of 1855. Our people would be
glad to learn of jim L. getting into
difficulty and meeting a similar fate to
the unfortunate mentioned above.
The kid band is about organized,
and now If the boys are given the use
of the old horns, they will be fixed.
1t would appear that the Citizens Sill
yer band should encourage the boys as
much as possible, for then when there
Is vacancy in the Citizens band, il
will be so much easier to get some one
to fill the vacancy out of the ranks of
the kids. The citizens were liberal in
buying the new Instruments, and we
believe they are generally favorable to
encouraging the boys.
A horse thief, named Frank c. STAN
ton, was brought here last week, by
Sheriff Bowers, of COmanche county,
for safe keeping. He stole two horses
from a man named Darrogh, near Cold
water and took them to Beaver City,
No-Man s-Land, where he WAS arrest
ed by vigilance committee and taken
TO Coldwater. Stanton formerly lived
near Deerhead, this county, and at one
time worked for Roller Bros, of Lake
City.
An impression prevails in this city
that the st. Louis, Fort Scott & Wich-
ita railroad will have a line to Medi-
cine Lodge this season. The road was
sold on the 2Sd of May, to Jay Gould,
but the sale has not yet been confirmed
by the court. AS soon as this is done,
the superstition is that a proposition
will be made to IIazelton, Nippewalla,
and Medicine Lodge townships. And
there is a possibility of the road going
west from this city under the name of
the Kansas and Panhandle, when it can
take up the aid heretofore voted in
Mingona and Sun City townships. The
